Fani Willis Skips First Primary Debate Amid Ongoing High-Profile Cases

Fulton County DA Fani Willis faces criticism for missing a debate with her Democratic primary opponent, opting instead for other engagements.

Fani Willis, embroiled in high-profile legal cases, missed a scheduled debate, leading her opponent Christian Wise Smith to debate an empty podium.
Willis attended the White House Correspondents’ Dinner and a self-care fair, raising questions about her priorities during the campaign.
Critics, including her opponent, accuse Willis of neglecting local issues in Fulton County amid escalating violent crime.
Despite the controversy, Willis maintains a strong lead in polls, with one showing her ahead by 70 points.
The Democrat primary for the Fulton County DA is set for May 28, with the winner facing a Republican challenger in November.
